Pastoral little master

Chapter 164
Tan Dejin really didn't notice that there was another person beside Mrs. Zhao.

After being reminded by her, I just looked at it.

"Look who this is?" Zhao smiled and pushed Zhao Xiaozhi towards him.

"Big cousin." Zhao Xiaozhi called out with her head down.

Tan Dejin couldn't see her face, but felt the voice was familiar, looked at Zhao Shi, "This is..."

I can't even recognize me. It seems that I am really old and ugly, alas!

Zhao Xiaozhi's heart was full of bitterness.

Thinking about her own life these years, her eyes were red and she wanted to cry.

"It's Xiaozhi, why don't you recognize her? Why do you have two eyes?" Zhao scolded with squinting eyes.

"Ah, Xiaozhi, you... why did you come here, and when did you come, where is your child?" Tan Dejin asked in shock.

Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, you can talk to Xiaozhi for a while, the eldest daughter-in-law will leave us for dinner at night, and I will go back and call your father."

After speaking, Tan Dejin could not refuse, she patted Zhao Xiaozhi's hand, smiled meaningfully, turned and left.

"Mother, you accompany Xiaozhi, I'll call daddy." Tan Dejin shouted hastily.

"I have something to do when I go back." Mrs. Zhao waved at him and left.

When she stepped out of the courtyard door, she turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen, the corner of her mouth curled up, and a sneer appeared quietly.

Facing Zhao Xiaozhi alone, Tan Dejin suddenly felt uncomfortable.

At the same time, in order to avoid suspicion, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, Xiaozhi, you go sit in the room, and I'll go to the kitchen and ask your cousin to accompany you."

Zhao Xiaozhi moved her lips, wanting to speak out to keep Tan Dejin, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to watch him leave.

Tan Dejin hurried into the kitchen, lotus root was being fried in the oil pan, and the aroma was tangy.

"Why did you come in? Have the lotus root piled up yet?" asked Xu in a gentle voice.

"Hey, I just finished it. By the way, Mingxiu, did you keep Xiaozhi for dinner?" Tan Dejin asked.

"Hmph, even if mother doesn't want to stay, grandma will help us stay." Liuju hummed under the stove, very unhappy.

Tan Dejin scanned Xu's family, Qiduo and Liuju, and saw that the faces of all three were a little displeased.

"What's the matter, are you here, did grandma come and say something again?" He asked cautiously.

"Oh, it's nothing. Fortunately, I am going to invite my parents over for dinner, and there is still some food at home. Otherwise, I would really be ashamed in front of my little cousin." Mrs. Xu sighed softly.

This is the truth, if Mrs. Zhao offered to invite her to dinner without preparation, and she was too embarrassed to refuse, then she would have to kill the hen that laid eggs at home to entertain the guests.

Zhao Xiaozhi is Zhao's natal niece, calling Tan Dejin a big cousin, logically speaking, it is reasonable to invite her to have a meal when she comes to the house as a guest.

It's just that Mrs. Zhao's overbearing domineering, disregarding Qiduo and the others' feelings made them feel rebellious, and they really didn't want to keep Zhao Xiaozhi for dinner.

Liuju followed Xu's words, and explained Zhao's words and deeds just now.

Tan Dejin frowned, why is mother like this?Isn't this blatantly offensive?
"Mingxiu, what should we do now? We can't coax Xiaozhi out, she...she is innocent." Tan Dejin said dully, he didn't know how to deal with this matter.

While picking up the lotus root box, Qiduo said, "Forget it, parents, this is the first time grandma forced us to entertain guests, for grandpa's sake, let's give her a treat.

If there is another time, father, please don't blame us for not giving grandma face, we should be filial to our elders, but elders should also be considerate of the difficulties of servants, don't go too far.Otherwise, no one will be filial any more. "

"Well, we can't drive her out either for your father's sake or for my little cousin's." Mrs. Xu nodded.

To Zhao Xiaozhi, she is generous.

Only then did Tan Dejin heave a sigh of relief, and he was worried that he would clash with Mrs. Zhao again because of this trivial matter.

"Mingxiu, go and talk to Xiaozhi for a while, I'll go to the front yard to call father and third child." Tan Dejin said.

"Sure, I'll go right away and wait for the water to boil." Xu nodded.

Tan Dejin turned and walked out.

"Father, you can talk about today's matter in front of grandpa, and ask grandpa to remind grandma not to do this again next time." Qiduo reminded her friendly.

Mrs. Zhao's temperament is too bad. If she is fulfilled this time, it is very likely that what happened today will happen again for the second and third time.

I have to let Mr. Tan get a vaccination first, so that she won't be annoyed when he doesn't give her face.

"I know, you child, alas!" Tan Dejin shook his head and strode away from the kitchen.

Caught between parents, wife and daughter, sometimes it really hurts, no matter who you lean towards, it's uncomfortable.

Fortunately, now that the family is separated, this feeling is less and less.

But he sincerely hopes that his parents, wife and daughter can live in peace, but now it seems that if the old lady does not change, it will be difficult to achieve this.

Qiduo didn't think about anything else, and carefully prepared the next dishes. It was getting late, and she couldn't be late when she went to Aunt Shen's house for dinner.

After the lotus root clips are fried, start to fry the mandarin fish, lift the fish tail, put the mandarin fish into the oil pan, and deep-fry until golden brown. The fish head is also deep-fried.

After the sweet-scented osmanthus is fried, put them into a white jade plate and arrange them in the shape of a squirrel.

Cut the glutinous rice and lotus root, put them on a plate, and then put all three dishes into the food box. Qiduo explained how to complete the last process of the six-orange mandarin fish. After greeting Mrs. Xu with the diced bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, he hurried to Shen’s house.

As soon as Mrs. Li opened the door, Qiduo heard laughter flying in the Shen family's small courtyard, which was very lively.

"Aunt Li, the house is so lively, are there any guests?" Qi Duo asked with a smile.

"Hehe, there are no guests. It's the master and the young master who are back." Aunt Li responded with a smile.

"Really, Auntie is overjoyed." Qi Duo walked into the yard with a smile.

"Isn't that right, Madam ordered me to cook a table of dishes, saying that the family hadn't eaten together for a long time, and she also specially ordered to make your favorite glutinous rice balls." Aunt Li smiled.

Qiduo was immediately surrounded by a warm sense of happiness.

It was originally a good day for family reunion, but Aunt Shen insisted on calling her. It can be seen that in her heart, she really treats herself as a family.

Glutinous rice balls are the original Tan Qiduo's favorite food.

"Sister-in-law Li, I also made some dishes, come and see if they can be served." Qiduo lifted the food box up.

"Miss Seven, the master and wife praised you for your cooking. Why can't you serve it on the table?" Aunt Li responded hurriedly.

Zheng Wanru, who was joking with her husband and son, hurried out when she heard the noise.

"Qiduo, come here quickly, we're ready to eat." Although she beckoned, her steps didn't stop.

"Ma'am, Miss Seven has brought some food." Mrs. Li called out with a smile.

Zheng Wanru came over in a hurry, and cast an angry look at Qiduo, "You child, why did you bring food when I asked you to come over for dinner? I'm afraid that my aunt's house will not be able to eat if there is no food."

"Hehe, of course not. It just so happened that someone gave mandarin fish today, so I just took it and made it. I want you to try it out. I didn't expect my uncle and brothers to come back, so I happened to have more side dishes." Qiduo smiled explain.

"Ah, mandarin fish, this is a valuable item. Hurry up and send it back so that your parents can taste it. I'm not willing to buy it on weekdays. My aunt has eaten it." Zheng Wanru was startled, and hurriedly declined.

"Auntie, there is another one at home." Qiduo said, after a short pause, she asked in a low voice, "Auntie, is Brother Nan back?"

Before Zheng Wanru could respond, Shen Nan's long-lost voice sounded muffled, "Hmph, I thought you forgot that you have my brother."

His voice came from behind Zheng Wanru, as awkward as ever.

The voice fell, and he came out from behind her.

It turned out that he came out behind Zheng Wanru, Qiduo really didn't notice.

Looking at Shen Nan, his face was still handsome and his eyes were as bright as stars, but the brows and eyes seemed to have lost a little bit of youthfulness and become a little more stable.

"Hey, how can I do it?" Qiduo grinned happily.

Goodbye to Shen Nan, she was inexplicably happy, this child has suffered a lot of grievances for herself.

However, now it seems that he should come out of the shadow of being beaten, so that's good.

Shen Nan's eyes fell on the food box in Qiduo's hands, her brows were slightly frowned, as if thinking of something, a warm smile finally appeared on the corner of her lips.

Shen Bin and Shen Lin also came out of the house, and Qi Duo smiled and went up to greet them, and at the same time went to the flower hall to say hello to Shen Huairen.

Zheng Wanru waved to Aunt Li, smiled and said to set the meal.

Qiduo followed Aunt Li to the kitchen to make the squirrel mandarin fish marinade.

This juice must be made and eaten now, and it is delicious when it is steaming.

All the dishes were put on the table, the table was full, the squirrel mandarin fish was placed in the center, Qiduo brought the hot soup over, and carefully poured it on the fish, the fried golden mandarin fish let out a sizzle Sigh' sound.

"Listen, this is the cry of a squirrel." Qi Duo said with a smile.

Shen Huairen looked at the squirrel mandarin fish which was realistic in shape, bright in color and rich in aroma, and praised, "Qi girl, I have eaten this squirrel mandarin fish in the famous Taihe Tower in Suzhou, but it was not eaten at that time. It is said that the fish is deep-fried and braised in brown sauce. You are pouring the soup, and the method is different.

And the shape of your fish is really like a squirrel, it lives up to its name.Seventh girl, I have convinced you, these hands are too dexterous. "

He might not be too surprised to see such dishes prepared by older, experienced chefs.

Zheng Wanru and the three Shen brothers looked at her and smiled.

"Uncle, don't praise me, just taste the taste, maybe the taste will disappoint you." Qiduo was embarrassed by everyone and said hurriedly.

"Qiduo, come, sit beside me." Zheng Wanru pulled Qiduo to sit beside her, then raised her chopsticks, "Hurry up, Lin'er, Bin'er, Nan'er, you all have a taste of Qiduo's craftsmanship, then But it’s the best in the world.”

To Qiduo, Zheng Wanru never hesitated to praise her.

Everyone raised their chopsticks at the same time, after Shen Huairen picked up a chopstick first, the others also stretched their chopsticks towards the mandarin fish.

"Mmm, it's delicious. The fish meat is crispy on the outside and inside. It's sweet and sour. It melts in your mouth, but after you swallow it, there is still a fresh smell of fish between your lips and teeth. Good, good." Shen Huairen was the first to praise.

"The taste is indeed very delicious, it is the best fish I have ever eaten." Shen Lin praised very gently.

Shen Bin blinked at Qiduo and smiled, "Sister Qiduo, the ancients said, Shibie will look at you with admiration in three days, you have changed too much. With such good cooking skills, go to open a restaurant. "

"Hey, I made the two elder brothers laugh." Qi Duo laughed.

"Father and the two elder brothers have already praised it, so I won't praise it." Shen Nan swallowed the fish in her mouth, squinted at Qiduo, and said very calmly.

"You child always loves to bully Qiduo." Zheng Wanru annoyed Shen Nan.

Then she watched Qiduo and her three sons laugh, with warm smiles on the corners of their brows and eyes.

Seeing his wife's expression, Shen Huairen was very happy, and in a moment of joy, he said to Qiduo, "Qiyatou, your aunt likes you so much, why don't you come and be our daughter?"

"Not good!" Someone responded immediately.

However, it wasn't what Qiduo said.
